Chapter 569: Achievements and Costs
Shang Haozhi sat on the sofa full of doubts, not understanding why Bao Jiyi called him here, and he didn't know why Long Tian was here.
On the coffee table in front of Bao Jiyi, there was a document that looked like it was at least thirty or forty pages.
However, Shang Haozhi didn't wait too long, and Bao Jiyi quickly told the reason for calling him over.
"Longyao wants to animate "The King of Rock and Roll", and this is their proposal." Bao Jiyi handed the document in front of him to Shang Haozhi.
"King of Rock and Roll?"
Shang Haozhi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Long Tian to come over for "The King of Rock and Roll".
However, Long Yao Animation is one of the top animation companies in China, although the level is not as good as Orochi, but the quality is also guaranteed, and at the same time, he has also participated in the production of "Chess Soul", and the level is obvious to all.
The animation of "Steel" has been won by Orochi - in fact, even if he doesn't win it, Shang Haozhi is not ready to hand it over to Long Yao, because "Steel" has opened the market in District 11, of course, to take into account the readers and audiences in District 11, high-quality animation is indispensable - now, the hottest comic in the entire "Comic Future" is undoubtedly "King of Rock and Roll", but not long ago, there were some situations in this comic, which made the results of "King of Rock and Roll" fluctuate.
""Hunting the Abyss" is what you are doing, and now you are doing "King of Rock and Roll", is it too late?"
In addition to the works of "Comic Future", Long Yao also took over the comics of other magazines, and Shang Haozhi was worried about the quality of "King of Rock and Roll".
"No problem! We are going to make a half-year series, a total of 24 episodes. I roughly calculated, and I just happened to be able to do the singing column that was serialized not long ago. This work is definitely also our own main work, and if we can talk about it this month, it will be released as soon as July next year. Of course, given the quality, we may push it to October, and these can be discussed. ”
"Really?" Shang Haozhi flipped through the plan book and saw the last note, "You mean that you want to change the story of the original work-"
"Definitely. Because of the recent incident, it led to dissatisfaction in the music industry. Long Yao is not an easy-to-book culture, if you can avoid trouble, of course it is the best. Long Tian explained.
Shang Haozhi nodded.
Animation companies still have to sell BD, and maybe they will sell videos to websites in the future, but no one will dislike making less money.
Of course, if it is a big production like "Steel" and it is a feature-length animation, "Comic Future" will also consider investing in the hope of increasing sales of magazines and monographs.
If it were a mediocre quality manga, "Comic Future" would not necessarily be funded.
Like "King of Rock and Roll", the magazine will definitely pay a part of the cost, but not like it supports "Steel".
"Although I would like to agree, I still want to listen to Mr. Luo's opinions and suggestions. In particular, this comic has to change the plot, so I think it's better to say hello to the author. ”
"It's for the best. After everyone discussed it, they told me the result. Bao Jiyi advised.
After Xu Jie learned the news, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he couldn't wait to call Luo Zheng.
The production of animation, there is no doubt that it has a bonus effect on the comics, and "King of Rock" has been in a bit of a slump recently, and if it can be made into animation, it will also be of great benefit to "King of Rock and Roll".
Originally, Luo Zheng was quite happy, but after learning that it was Long Yao who made the animation, he said a word, can he ask a company in District 11 to produce it.
"Huh?"
Xu Jie took the microphone and looked at Shang Haozhi with a puzzled face, and didn't know how to explain.
……
"Mr. Shang was depressed for an afternoon because of this incident, and contacted several companies in District 11, but no one was willing to take it." When Jian Xiaomei received the manuscript, she told Ye Hexu about the preparation of animation for "The King of Rock and Roll".
"Of course no one wants to take it. The companies in District 11 are not fools. Ye Hexu replied.
"What do you mean?" Jian Xiaomei was a little puzzled.
"Will you do a business that loses money?" Ye Hexu turned his head and asked Jian Xiaomei.
"It's not like the comic company in District 11 hasn't produced the animation of "Comic Future......" Jian Xiaomei retorted when she saw Ye Hexu's natural expression, a little angry.
"There are two ways to look at this. If it's a second-rate animation company in District 11, to be honest, it's not as good as Long Yao, and the cost is 10% to 20% higher, if it's the level of Orochi...... To tell the truth, the magazine has to pay a lot of money, and it depends on whether the magazine is willing to do so. ”
""Steel" is out, "The King of Rock and Roll" should be okay, right?"
"It's different! Jian Xiaomei, why are you so confused about this matter? In addition to "Steel Chain" and "Chess Soul", other domestic comics need to use animation companies in District 11, and the price must be turned up. Ye Hexu turned his head to look at Jian Xiaomei, his face full of contempt.
"The King of Rock and Roll also achieved very good results, and not long ago won the first place in the small book three times." Jian Xiaomei saw Ye Hexu's expression, and she was a little upset.
"Please, no matter how good the results of "King of Rock and Roll" are in China, what does it have to do with District 11? They only made a judgment based on the results of the small book of "Shonen Leap". Does King of Rock 'n' Roll have a little book for Shonen Leap? ”
Jian Xiaomei shook his head.
"Did 'King of Rock 'n' Roll open up the market in District 11?"
Jian Xiaomei shook his head again.
"There is not even a market, the company in District 11 makes it, who does BD sell to? If you can't sell BD, how can the company make money? Therefore, Huaxia must be all out. It's completely different from "Steelcore", the single book of "Steelcore" can be sold in District 11, BD also has a market, and "Steel" has also won the first place in the small book of "Young Leap", and the ratings of animation in District 11 should not be low, right? ”
"It seems to be around 7%." Jian Xiaomei recalled.
Now there are more animations being made, and the ratings are a bit lower than before.
"7%, you say, how do you compare the two comics?" Ye Hexu asked rhetorically.
Jian Xiaomei was dumbfounded.
Since "The King of Rock and Roll" has no market in District 11, whether it is a single book, BD or peripherals, the audience is not too large, and it is basically unprofitable.
"Steel" is different, the average sales of a single book is close to 700,000 copies, and the popularity of "Shonen Leap" is also good, such a comic, it is difficult not to be popular.
"The two sides won't freeze, will they?" Jian Xiaomei muttered to herself, a little sympathetic to Xu Jie.
"Then who knows...... Jian Xiaomei, you know how to thank me now, right? If I also asked to be produced by an animation company in District 11, do you think you are also embarrassed? Ye Hexu bared his teeth and said.
“……”
Jian Xiaomei rolled her eyes, wanting to refute, but she also thought that if Ye Hexu was so noisy, she wouldn't have much to do.
"Look...... There must be a conclusion to this matter, and I personally think that in the end, Long Yao will take over this comic. Ye Hexu put his hands behind his head, "The difference between the production level of the two sides is not too big, but the cost is not small." Magazines must take these factors into account. ”
Although Jian Xiaomei was dissatisfied with Ye Hexu's natural expression, she had to admit that what Ye Hexu said was the truth.
Any comic in China wants to have the "treatment" of "Steel Forge", but there is no matching result.
